Big Inning Helps REX Win Fourth Straight

CHILLICOTHE, Ohio - The Chillicothe Paints, presented by Adena Health System, lost for just the second time in 13 games Monday night at VA Memorial Stadium, falling to the REX 11-4.

The REX (11-7) jumped out to a 7-0 lead in the first inning, thanks in part to home runs from Parks Bouck and Brandon Boxer.

Chillicothe got two more back in the bottom half. Nate Dorisnky singled, scoring on a triple by Hunter Klotz, who later scored on a single by Connor Ashby, making it a 7-3 ballgame.

Brennan DuBose homered for the REX to lead off the fifth inning, making it 8-3 REX.

The Paints got that run back in the bottom half of the inning. Cameron Bowen singled, advancing to third on a double by Williams and scoring on a groundout by Carson, cutting it to an 8-4 deficit. That's as close as Chillicothe would get.
